The Hungarian Zoltan Almasi won three in a row from rounds six to eight, and was close to winning the tournament alone. However in the last round he had to face Gata Kamsky with Black, not an ideal situation, and the American was able to win.
The top four were no doubt happy with their performances, as they all gained rating points, noting that the Italians Caruana and Godena took third and fourth places.
